A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Massachusetts Who Chose To Be Featured
2431. JennCushman : Looking for male cousin born in Boston Ma‚ May 21‚1974. Closed adoption thru Catholic Charities‚ Birth moms name is Maura Jennings.
We are a big loving family Full of cousins Aunts‚ uncles and 2 half siblings‚ looking to make contact and share the love!
2433. Roddell89 : Miss Roddell Windley. Looking for son James Isaiah Windley. Last known (Western Massachusetts). Name may have been changed. Last seen in 2013. Born (Springfield‚ Massachusetts-Baystate Hospital. Open Adopted through DCF. Think adopted more than once. Was last with Sister Ayanna Delia Lucille Vaughn. They removed him AFTER adoption think they gave him to someone else. Birth Father Quintin Jermaine Mayo.
2434. Shawna-Gigi : I am looking for a male at birth cousin who was placed for adoption right after birth. Your mothers last name was House and your fathers last name was Tyo. The adoption was during a time where a teenage unwed mother was not always allowed to keep her child. Her parents made that decision and doing what your parents said was just what you had to do if you had no resources. I was told you were born in the first week of November of 1971‚ but I was also told you were born between the date of my birth and the birth of my next cousin which was Aug of 1971 so that doesn’t really match up so I am going to say Anytime after Nov 16 1970 till Aug 18 1971. Your birth parents were both from NH but I was told your adoption was held through Catholic Charities of Manchester but it was handled potentially in MA. So all I can do is select both states. I am not looking for anything from you or looking to cause any upset in your life‚ but I was VERY close to my aunt (your mother) and she never had any other children so I would love to just to know you for even a few minutes if nothing else. We can take it at your pace and I would never ask you to do or meet anyone you were uncomfortable with. If you think you might be a match please reach out to me. I feel like time is running out to some degree. Thank you
2436. Ourdogtigger : Looking for birth mother‚ birth father‚ and any siblings or relatives. Adoptee through Catholic Charities‚ born in Boston‚ MA‚ August 1964. Female‚ dark hair. Raised by family on the North Shore.
2437. Skyenana : I am 60. My mother Nancy Phillips Shanahan had a daughter before I was born. She was originally from Dedham‚ Ma. She went to Wheaton college and Barnard college. The fathers name is Roger Freedman (???) and he may have been from New York. My mother never got over giving her baby away and it dramatically effected her life‚ mental health‚ and relationships. Years ago‚ she had told me that she found my sister and her name was Joan. My mother has now passed and I may be too late but I am hopeful I can make a connection. I live in MA and am an only child.
2438. Lookin4mybrother1969 : I’m praying I’ll find my brother‚ born‚ I believe on1/20/69 and named Joseph John Brown at birth. I’m sure he didn’t keep that name. Adoption was through Catholic Charities. Prior to birth‚ mom was staying at a home for unwed mothers in Dorchester. I was an only child and always told my parents that I wanted a brother. I think I always felt him. I would love to know about him and welcome him in my life if he wants the same.
2439. Jmartin070869 : My entire family has passed away. With the exception of 2 cousins that do not know the history.
I was always told I had an identical twin brother that was given up for adoption against my mothers will at birth as she was only 19 and a single parent in 1969.
Born in Chelsea Naval Hospital but was told there was a fire and all records were destroyed.
Mothers name: Gloria Martin
Grandparents names: John and Grace Martin
Now in my elder years I often wonder if I do in fact have any family left out there?
Thank you‚
